I continued to have a pain free day yesterday and only had a sore neck when ever i touched it or moved my head too quickly but apart from that i didn't get any other type of pain at all. I spent the day playing on the computer taking things easy as i didn't want to set off an attack just in case there was one coming. Well i was worrying for no reason as one didn't come so i decided to get an early night to catch up on my sleep and make sure i got plenty of rest.
It must have been about half four in the morning when it happened, I stirred in bed then suddenly my eyes were open i was wide awake, i couldn’t feel pain straight away so i just lay there wondering why was i wide awake when i wasn’t getting an attack and then it happened. the beast decided to come back.
A sudden sharp pain in the neck followed by the shooting pains across the top of the head and behind the eye, quickly followed by that horrible feeling of pressure and then the eye started to water and close. I jumped out of bed in agony, raced into the living room to get my injection and sit and breath in the oxygen. The pain continued to grow in strength and once again it was pointless taking the injection as it just wasn't strong enough to stop this attacks, this was one of the biggest attacks i have had for a while. All i could do was rock in the chair whilst breathing in oxygen frantically as i was in so much pain. My eye was swollen and the side of my face so sore i couldn’t touch it with my hand. I tried to massage my head and my neck but because it was still bruised and sore from the injection the specialist had given i couldn’t even do that.I was in turmoil.
I looked up at the clock on my wall it said it was a quarter to five in the morning and thought my god why me why was i awake this early suffering. The next thing i know when i looked up again it was half seven in the morning and over two hours had passed in pure pain and agony. It was like it didn't want to stop. I had just broken out into sweat, pouring from me, making me feel icy cold. I could also feel the cold weather on the top of my head so i turned on the electric fire and sat close to it so my face was level with the fire and started to heat up the side of my face.
I have used heat treatment before to counter act the pain so i was hoping the same would happen, and surely enough as like it was clockwork i slowly moved away from the fire so the heat slowly decreased and low and behold the pain also reduced with the heat. My god this was a painful attack. Well it look like i only managed 2 days of being pain free from the injection, i cant say i am surprised as the specialist at the hospital did warn me not to expect too much. So it looks like the beats is back to stay for a while so it time to wrap up and take my meds.
Even though i have had plenty of sleep i feel absolutely exhausted, it is surprising but these attacks don't half take away your energy and strength. They seem to take everything you have in you just to endure the pain and agony so i am now waiting for the feeling of pressure to ease a little and then will try and have a nap later in the morning.
